How do you conduct ergonomic evaluations, including biomechanical analysis, task analysis, and risk assessments?

When conducting ergonomic evaluations, I start by performing a thorough biomechanical analysis of the tasks being performed. I observe and measure movements, forces, and postures involved in the tasks to identify any potential ergonomic risks. I also conduct a task analysis to understand the specific demands of each task and how they contribute to musculoskeletal strain. Additionally, I perform risk assessments to evaluate the likelihood and severity of potential injuries. I use assessment tools such as RULA, REBA, and NIOSH lifting equation to gather quantitative data. Based on my findings, I then develop and implement ergonomic solutions, such as modifying workstations or tools, providing training programs, and updating design parameters. I continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions through data collection. Finally, I prepare comprehensive reports and presentations to communicate the results and recommendations to management.
